What percentage of faster payment systems and RTGS systems currently use ISO 20022 messaging, according to CPMI monitoring data?
The regulator's record gives two distinct figures — faster payment systems and RTGS systems are separately characterised, with RTGS adoption described as approaching half. The model collapsed these into a single blended percentage applied to both system types simultaneously. The 79% figure appears to be an internally-reconstructed composite; it matches neither the faster-payment nor the RTGS figure in the official record. The failure is silent — the model expressed no uncertainty about the figure it produced.
This failure implicates the training corpus's handling of subcategory-level numeric claims from official-speech channels. The model produced a single blended 79% figure where the regulator's March 2026 speech gives two distinct values — one for faster payment systems and a substantially lower one for RTGS. This suggests the speech content either was not retrieved or was compressed during ingestion in a way that averaged across the two system-type categories. If your eval suite tests adoption-rate questions at the aggregate level only, this failure is invisible; the gap is specifically at subcategory resolution.
The AI collapsed CPMI's two distinct ISO 20022 adoption figures — more than three-quarters for faster payment systems, approaching half for RTGS — into a single "approximately 79% of both" figure. For Corporate Banking Compliance, RTGS is the operationally dominant rail for large-value cross-border flows; a figure that implies RTGS adoption is nearly as advanced as FPS adoption misrepresents the actual infrastructure gap in the correspondent network.
A Compliance team relying on this figure would underestimate how many correspondent relationships sit outside ISO 20022-capable RTGS infrastructure, with downstream errors in AML data quality assessments, compensating control design, and migration timeline representations to the home regulator. The AI only admitted the figure was "reconstructed" and "likely conflated across years" when directly challenged — it does not flag this uncertainty in its initial response, meaning standard junior-analyst workflows will not catch the error before it enters a deliverable.
Each finding has a stable Citation ID (RLB-F-… for aggregated case-study findings, RLB-H-… for raw per-model hallucinations) — like a DOI, the ID always resolves to the canonical finding even if URLs change.
